Huge Hero Call for Rubie!
Action folded to one of the tournament big stacks, Jun Wei Liu, on the button. He raised to 5,000. The small blind folded and then Brendon Rubie reraised to 15,000. Liu paused for a moment and then made the call. On the last break, Rubie discussed how he felt Liu would be the easiest player to attack and win chips from at his new table.
The flop came down 
and Rubie took a moment. He then checked to Liu. Liu made a bet of 15,000, tossing three T5,000 chips across the felt almost right in front of Rubie. The youngster made the call.
The turn added the 
to the board and completed a possible flush draw in diamonds. Rubie checked once more and then Liu fired a bigger bet of 38,000. Rubie took his time and then made the call, creating a pretty big pot in the middle of the table.
The river completed the board with the 
. Rubie checked once more to his opponent. Liu tanked for a little bit before asking how much Rubie had left. "About 120,000," said Rubie. Liu then tanked for another minute or two before announcing that he was all in. The all-in bet was worth 97,400. It was now Rubie's turn to tank and tank he did. He tanked for a few minutes before eventually Keith Hawkins chimed in by calling the clock on Rubie. Rubie looked pained by the decision, but tried to put the pieces together. He even tried prying some information out of Liu, but all Liu responded with was "No English, no English."
About halfway into the countdown, Rubie made the call quietly, almost as if the words wouldn't leave his mouth. He even had to reiterate it for the dealer to hear him. Liu had to show first and tabled the 
for just a pair of fours. Rubie rolled over his 
, having made the call with just a pair of queens and snapping off Liu's bluff.
Rubie stood from the table and looked around, "Somebody high five me, somebody high five me!" he pleaded before slapping one of the tournament reporters. Rubie hero called his way to a pot worth about 300,000 chips and now has well over that mark. He's now the new chip leader by a sizable portion.
